The ‘Sorting Pavilion’ is an insertion that reuses the Former Courtyard of Lowestoft Post Office as a strategy that goes hand in hand with the regeneration of Lowestoft. The narrative of the space revolves around the previous use of the site, ‘Sorting’. However, it also analyzes the movement pattern that people follow once they go past the former courtyard.
